Black swallowtail caterpillar - last meal

I took this photo at 3 pm and by 7 pm all the last caterpillars were gone! No sign of them anywhere. I hope they all crawled off and found a good spot for the winter. I've seen a female swallowtail laying more eggs - maybe we'll get a few more. It's been fun.
